I SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. :1c eLvt ' yes r d :row Quebec, trom J . u , sources on which we place the firmest reliance, we learn that intelligence had been received there that an extensive and formidable organization was going on in the United States to aid the " patriots," as the rebels were called, in their next attempt ; that about forty thousand of the loose population of the States were already enrolled and pledged to rendezvous upon a day to be named. It may be sup posed that when this intelligence, of which some vague in dications had been some time before received, came in a shape, and from a quarter, which left no room to doubt its authenticity, the greatest sensation was produced. As a sample of the intelligence received at Que bec, we may quote a letter, from a most respect able individual at St. John's, dated the 11 th of Octo ber :—" The plot thickens around us ; having attained to a state of maturity which three months ago would have been deemed incredible. And yet, even now, many un acquainted with passing events are slow to believe the facts to which the ears, the eyes, and the observations of us on the spot, bear testimony. lam persuaded, however, that present and permanent security may be attained by the adoption of a simple and politic system in the re-organiza tion of the militia. . . . Our friends at La Colle and Odell Town are in a desperate fright, but I must confess that I think them inclined to magnify the threatened danger. About L'Acadie the Loyalists are in a much worse plight ; indeed 1 should not be astonished to hear of some atrocity in that vicinity. Colonel Taylor, the Military Superintendent of the St. John's district, has, however, his eye constantly on the pro ceedings that occur ; and as he has established the means of obtaining speedy and accurate information, it is hoped that he will be able to defeat the plans which are in progress." New York is the spot in which the rebels hold their councils. A letter from that city, of the date of November 11, from one who had peculiar sources of in formation, stated that " immense numbers of persons are enrolled all along the frontier, who are to take part' at the proper time,' that is to say when all is ready for another attempt. The numbers employed on both sides of the lines and in various towns this way (New York), amount to 60,000. There are plenty of people here deeply engaged in keeping the flame alive." From the language in these ex tracts our readers will see that those who had the best op portunitiesfor knowing were persuaded of the existence of an extensive organization. All these enrolments, however, are to be understood as contingent for their effect on events ; and it may happen that the measures adopted in Canada may have the effect of reducing the probabilities of success so much that the adventurers of the United States may deem it advisable to hang back. We learn that the 2d Dragoon Guards, Colonel Cathcart, left Three Rivers on the 15th of October for Chambly, which is getting into a very bad state. It was intended, however, that the regiment should winter there. It had been some months at Three Rivers, and so well had it behaved, that not one complaint of a riot or desertion of any description was made during all that time. Lord Durham could not with propriety have proceeded through the States, after the receipt of the intelligence to which we have alluded ; and we are, therefore, of opinion that he has acted wisely in abandoning his first intention. However friendly may be the tiisposition of the Go vernment of the Union, it must always be borne in mind that the general Government possesses slight control over the people of the several States ; 'and as it is possible that the Yankees may be implicated in the meditated insurrec tion, his presence at Washington or New York would in snch a case be very untoward. His Lordship was to sail from Quebec by the Inconstant the end of October or be ginning of November. The accounts received from Li verpool last night are, as our readers will see, in accordance with the intelligence which we have received direct from Quebec. The excitement at Quebec and Montreal was, as may be conceived, very great ; and the British inhabitants were fully impressed with the belief that a civil war was close at hand.—Morning Chronicle. It is not, we are bound to confess, without some appear ance of reason, that so many of our correspondents have addressed letters of complaint on our seeming disregard of the melancholy intelligence brought to us by each daily post from the seat of (miscalled) "government," as well as from the seat of (still more unfitly named) " war," in the Spanish Peninsula. The Government is Anarchy ; the war is butchery. The Anarchy of Madrid is without the excuse of patriotic zeal : the butchery in the provinces is without that of military passion. Both capital and provinces are stained by the most horribly cold-blooded, vindictive, selfish, and measured cruelties. To dwell upon the details of each day's crime in that country, abandoned as it is by Heaven, and scorned and reprobated by the 'good and wise among all nations of the earth, would be utterly disgust ing, if it were not vain and unprofitable. Not an hour passes that would not fill volumes with records of sangui nary treachery and manifold baseness, revolting to human nature. Nor is the practice of these fiend-like abomina tions confined to either set of bloodhounds by which the realm of Spain is disgraced and torn to pieces. Carlists and Christinos are much alike for that. The tiger spirit of Cabrera was first roused to fury by the wanton massacre of his unfortunate mother. But his vengeance appears not to have been quenched by the retaliatory sacrifices which he inflicted upon her murderers. Fresh offences, though of minor atrocity provoked him to successive reprisals in kind, and his name, with what accuracy of truth we know not, now stands foremost is the accounts, whether public or pri vate, from that country, as an individual shedder of human blood. This may, perhaps, be a comparative slander upon Cabrera, who in the field of battle has entailed :so much mischief upon the cause which assumes to be that of " liberty" as would explain the eagerness of an enemy less prepared for fighting than calumniating to cover with obloquy the name of one whose sword has in spired them with terror. But if not the foremost of military executioners among Spaniards, he is one, at least, among the many, no one of whom is innocent. With regard to the Christinos, the appetite for murder has laid hold, not of one or two fierce and unre lenting leaders of that faction, but has actually infected whole masses of the people with a thirst for the blood of their helpless and unresisting fellow-creatures. At Barce lona, at Saragossa, in Madrid itself, the degenerate multi tude, in their paroxysms of cowardly persecution, can be no otherwise appeased but by the sight of unarmed prisoners shot in companies, or lodged in dungeons, to be led out for slaughter on the first convenient day. As for the Govern ment, how is that composed ? And by whom, or by what power, supported ? Its Ministers are changed weekly—if not at hap-hazard, they are named under the dictation, as is imagined, of puppet-movers behind the scenes, or by the caprice or desperation of a woman not secure of her own safety for twenty-four hours. Each Ministry in its turn succeeds to place, without a particle of authority or influ ence over the stormy elements around it. The taxes, of which it ought to be the receiver, are not permitted to ap proach the public treasury, being seized upon by the military commander of each district to quell the insubordination of his starving troops. The orders issued in the name of the Crown to its Lieutenants arc treated by them with open contumely and derision, every one of the latter claiming, like Lord Durham, a dictatorship, and reviling the nominal Govern ment, as his Lordship has done, for the state of confusion to which (he says) it has reduced the country. The greater portion of the Spanish territory is, in fact, possessed and ruled over by the commanding officers of the troops, who seem to retain their several portions as perpetual fiefs of the Crown, save that they hold themselves exempt from the conditions of suit and military service, for nothing sub stantial in the shape of either have the Generals at the bead of armies rendered to the " Constitutional" Sove reign. Then, as to the financial system of this thing, nicknamed a " Government"—where is its treasury ? where its credit ? what are its resources ? what its means of existence ? It has none. Not so much as a single dollar can this pretended " ally" of the Queen of England's Whig Cabinet raise from any merchant or banker in the world, were it to pawn the inheritance of Queen Isabella's sceptre for the next five centuries. The faith of Spain is notoriously so worthless, its principles of public morality so depraved, that it has not left at this moment the materials for fulfilling a single pecuniary obli gation to states or persons, be the amount ever so insigni ficant. And such is the creature of empty worthlessness, profliffacy, perfidy, and cruelty to which the wisdom and public spirit of the Whig Ministers have tied down the na tional energies of England, as to a carcass in the last stage of decomposition—such is the channel through which, such the cause for which , the arms and warlike stores, a consi derable division of the navy, and some thousands of the brave maritime forces of G reat b B w r i i t t b a d in r , aw h n ave a , nd dur d i i n v g er t t h ed e last three or four years, been from objects of high national a i n m d po a rt u a t ze r — ity fro i m n t q h u e ar s t u e p r; port of British ascendancy d adretbsrtuiullgbseuriut where both have been deeply woun ed, ously threatened, in the East o f Eu rope , . and an When the among the the whole of the Mediterranean and its c oasts .

How, and with what success, has Lord Palmerston trodden in the footsteps of his great predecessor? Let the universality of cowardice and murder throughout the whole Peninsula bear witness. We trust that one of the first measures of the ensuing ses sion will be to save England from any further sacrifice of resources or reputation through her unhappy league with a worthless and irreclaimable faction, and in a cause now admitted, on all sides , nay, announced by the Regent her ;self, to be utterly desperate and ruined.—Times. MONEY AND CITY NEWS. (FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.) CHRONICLE.—There appears to be quite a pause as regards operations at the Stock Exchange ; and there is, in fact, nothing left for us to do but to recapitulate prices. Shares are likewise without any material alteration. Bir mingham (old) closed at 82 to 84 prem. ; ditto (new), 234 to 244 prem. ; Southampton, 444 to 454 per share ; ditto, new, 194 to 204 prem. ; Great Western, 13 to 14 prem. ; Leeds and Manchester, 19 to 21 prem. ; Birmingham and Derby, / to 1+ prem. ; Brighton, 24 to I dis. ; Blackwell. 1/ to 14 dis. ; Greenwich, 16/ to 17 per share ; North Midland, 1 to 2 prem. ; and Eastern Counties, 12 to 10 dis. General Mining Shares, 12 to 13 ; and British Iron, 9 to 10 per share. The exportation of the precious metals from the port of London. for the week ending Saturday last, the 17th inst., consisted, according to the official returns, of 636 ounces of gold, and 65,356 ounces of silver. 37.5 ounces of the gold was sent to South Australia, and 261 ounces to Teneriffe. The silver was disposed of as follows :-28,000 ounces to Sierra Leone ; 14,000 ounces to Hamburg ; 11,500 ounces to Rotterdam ; 9,163 ounces to the West Indies ; and 2,693 ounces to South Australia. We understand that there is every reason to expect Macnin, the person who is accused of forgery upon the house of Messrs. Lizardi, and of robbery of other persons, will be brought to justice, as we hear the Bow-street officers have intercepted a letter from him to a there ramie. Various accounts are given as to the extent of his frauds, but it is generally supposed that 50,0001. will not cover them, and, indeed, there is no telling to what extent the converted Mexican bonds have been issued. As an instance of the barefaced manner in which he carried on operations, it may be mentioned, and which we know to be a fact, that as he was making off from Messrs. Lizardi, after the discovery of the fraud, he met a gentlemen, for whom he had been io the habit of transacting business, and asked him to let him have three or four hundred pounds, as it was " account day," and he was " rather short." The gentleman thus accosted said he had not the bank notes, but that he had some Colombian bonds in his pocket, if they were of any use, which it is needless to say were readily taken by Mac nim. It is supposed he is either gone, or is trying to get over to Holland, where, it is said, he has disposed of a large amount of the converted Mexican bonds. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " MORNING CHRONICLE." SlR,—Observing a statement in the City article of the Morning Chronicle of this day, wherein allusion is made to the frauds committed by our late . clerk, David Macnin, we have to remark, that since the conduct of this indi vidual will, in all probability, be speedily brought before a criminal court of justice, we think it would be wrong to take any other notice of the said statement than, for our own justification, to declare that the above-mentioned David Macnin bad never any authority whatever to sign the name of the firm to the Mexican bonds issued by the house, and, consequently, the " information" on which the writer of your City article bases his assertion is wholly un true and entirely destitute of foundation. We are, Sir, your obedient servants, 26, Austin Friars, Nov. 20. F. DE LIZARDI and Co.\ TIMES.—The Funds remain quiet, with little doing. Consols were 94* for Money and Account. The Govern ment broker took 7,0001. more Reduced, end these conti nued purchases have tended to support the market. Bank Stock was 203* to 204* ; India Stock, 261 to 262 ; Ex chequer Bills, 675. to 695. premium. The dealings in the foreign house were principally con fined to Spanish American securities, in which some im provement took place. Colombian advanced to 25* to 26 ; Mexican, 23} to 24 ; Brazilian were 784- to 79 ; Spanish Active, with the May Coupons, 17* to 4 ; Portuguese Five per Cents, 31 to 4-, the Three per Cents., 20i to 4 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 54* to ; the Five per Cents., 1001 to A few New York Papers of the 26th ult. have reached the city in the course of the afternoon. Much excitement had been produced in the Money Market of that place by the appearance of a Treasury circular, dated the 20th, noti fying the immediate payment of all outstanding Treasury Bills dated on or before the 21st of May last. This is designated by the opponents of the Government as a trick to influence the elections in New York, and also' declared to be tantamount to the establishment of a National Bank, both of which constructions would appear to be dictated rather by party spirit than by any sound and rational view of the subject. It is stated that the Government has been enabled to take this course in consequenceof having received the amount by anticipation of the United States Bank bonds, and not by any improvement in its general resources ; but it is more probable that the resumption by most of the Banks of payments in specie has put many of them into a situation to discharge former obligations, and so placed the Government in reality in a much better position, Some further information than at present exists is obviously ne cessary before the measure can be properly understood. The exchange on London had not varied, and United States Bank shares were quoted at 120. POST.--An express arrival at the North and South American Coffee-house late this (Tuesday) evening has brought intelligence from the United States to the 25th ult., and from Canada to the 22d. It appears by these accounts that Lord Durham had re solved upon coming directly home in the Inconstant frigate, in consequence of an intimation from the United States Government that on the borders of the Canadian frontiers demonstrations of a determined system of hostility to the British authorities had been manifested, which they con fessed they could not controul. It appears that this deter mination of his Lordship has been suddenly adopted. Great efforts were making to strengthen our Canadian frontiers, and troops had been sent for from the lower posts. Mr. Levy Woodbury, the Secretary of the United States, had given notica that the Treasury notes of the date of the 21st of May, 1838, would be redeemed on presentation, in advance of the time fixed by the Act of Congress of the 12th of October, 1837. The value of money has not materially altered. There have been no important alterations in the rates of the Con tinental Exchanges, nor has there been much business. The Public Securities of the United States, however, do not maintain the repute which a short time since they had acquired, and some anxiety has beer exhibited to get out of them. _ With respect to the forgery upon the house of Lizardi ind Co., in the new converted Mexican Bonds, it is stated that they amount to 25,000/. HERALD.—Late this afternoon most important ac counts were received here, through the private agency of the North and South American Coffee House, from the United States and Canada, by the Garrick, Liverpo o l li ne of packet ship, bringing dates from New York to the 25th ult. inclusive, and from Montreal to the 22d of the same month. The Garrick had landed some passengers in Dun garvon Bay (between Cork and Wexford), who are the channel of the present information, which states that Lord Durham had resolved upon sailing from Quebec direct for England on the Ist instant, in the Inconstant frigate. This determination on the part of Lord Durham appears to have arisen out of some concerted plan be tween his Lordship and Sir John Colborne in consequence the hostile proceedings on the American frontier, of which formal notice had been give.n by the United States government. The men-of-war in the St. Lawrence were sent to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick for all the dispoaable troops that could be spared, and the Volunteers were im mediately to be called out. This hasty information is said to have arrived by the Hon. Constantine Dillon, who has Inought despatches to Government. The value of money, either for commercial purposes or on the Stock Exchange to-day, has not altered since our last remuks upon that subject. Much greater anxiety bas prevailed to-day to get out of American bonds and securities of all kinds, and we learn that bankers have re fused to advance more than one-third of their nominal value. In the Continental Exchanges there has neither been much business or alteration. On Paris they are quoted at 25f. 70c. to 25f. 7.5 e. ; on Amsterdam at 12 41 ; on Rotterdam at 12 41 a 12 4} ; and on Hamburg at 12 10 a 12 10i. The forgery which has been affected upon the firm of Lizardi and Co., in new converted Mexican Bonds, by a person of the name of Macnin, is ascertained to be to the amount of 25,0001. The party who thus has abused the confidence of his employers is one who has not suddenly . fillen from the high estate of integrity. COURT OF ALDERMEN. Yesterday the first Court of the present mayoralty was held. The Loan MAYOR, oa taking the chair, addressed the Court. After having stated that he was persuaded that he cordial should receive upon i() all of his ue a o e ipveer at sions during his mayoralty the brethren, his Lordship assured them that he should do all rights and privileges of th,atobrrdiaenchhisof powertbo Corporation. protect the In antd been, e o e r n ii ordinances s o , one which ra struckno him as peculiarly ( looking . 7 ou r t , he e ov h e a r d e tb b e ser r v u e l d e s deserving of notice, although it had of the up to in the way intended by theoriginator. As he in tended to observe it punctually, h esh point it out to the attention of the Court in order ould that he might not on on any future occasion he accused of sharp practice for carrying it into effect. It direct e d that 1f • there was not a sufficient number of Aldermen present a q uarter of an Iv hour after the hour for which the members wer e summoned, the names of the Aldermen who were not in attendance should be published, and that summonses should be issued every week until an adequate attendance to constitute a Court THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1838 the Court that . , in their opinion, the brig was to blame anterior tc, the accident. The Learned Judge accorq.,gly condemned the Earl Bathurst, with damages and costs. should take place.—(Hear, hear.) He considered that a ptmetnal obserainee upon the part of the Aldermen to the duties of the Court was due to the public, and he should, therefore, rigidly act up to so wholesome a regulation. If the hour of one o'clock (the usual time for which they were summoned) was objected to, he would accommodate his brother Aldermen by attending at any other, and he trusted the notice he thus gave would prevent any members from supposing, should he have occasion to put the regulations in force on account of non-attendance, that they were taken by surprise.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman CdPELAND said it might appear to be un courteous in him to reply upon the Lord Mayor's speech, hut he must state that on the days fixed in the calendar for the attendance of the Aldermen it was very seldom the case that a Court was not made. It happened, however , sometimes that no busines was to be done, and a postponement of the Court took place without proper notice to the members. Sometimes, too, it happened that Courts were called which were not fixed in the calendar, and confusion and mistakes were the consequence. He thought it necessary to mention that in the last Mayoralty, although a perfect understanding prevailed in the Court that the election of the Ordinary of Newgate should take place on a calendar day, it actually occurred on a day not mentioned in the calendar. He did not say that the Court would have elected a min better qualified to fill the office than the gentleman who had suc ceeded, but it would have been much more satisfactory if there had been no such deviation from the established rule. He was convinced that as long as the Lord Mayor adhered to the regulation necessary to secure their attendance, his brother Aldermen would punctually appear in their places. . SWEARING IN OF THE NEW ALDERMAN OF WALBROOK WARD. Michael Gibbs, Esq., lately elected Alderman of the ward of Walbrook, was introduced to the Court by Mr. Eddison, one of the constituents of the ward. Alderman Gibbs was then sworn in the usual form, and took his seat. VOTE OF THANKS TO THE LATE LORD MAYOR. Sir C. S. HUNTER rose to move a vote of thanks to Sir John Cowan, Bart., late Lord Mayor, for the excellent manner in which he had performed the duties of that high, arduous, and responsible office.—(Hear.) The late Lord Mayor had shown in passing through the Mayoralty great zeal, ability, humanity, and judgment, and the office was certainly a fatiguing and responsible one. After some fur ther observations upon the magisterial exertions of Sir John Cowan, Sir C. S. Hunter moved the vote of thanks (for which see advertisement). Alderman SCHOLET most cordially seconded the motion, which was immediately carried. VOTE OF THANKS TO ALDERMAN PIRIE. Alderman FAREBROTHER rose and said, that he could not allow the proceedings of the day to be brought to a close without calling the attention of the Court to the sub ject of a vote of thanks which he intended to move to a gentleman whose conduct reflected the highest honour upon the Court of Aldermen. The course which he (Al derman Farebrother) was adopting was unusual, but the individual to whom he pointed was in the habit of oxen cising very unusual virtue. Not a day passed without wit nessing some distinguished proofs of the beneficence and charity of Alderman Pirie.—(Loud cheers) The public prints were constantly recording the acts of beneficence and humanity performed by that most excellent man, who devoted a great part of his time to the relief of poor sea men rendered destitute by unavoidable calamity. Nume rous were the instances in which Alderman Pirie had, by the exercise of his great influence and by his purse, suc ceeded in sending to their own homes unfortunate foreigners who were not recognised by any other friend, and procured ships for poor English sailors who in vain sought assist ance elsewhere.—(Cheers.) In the police offices of the City, where misery daily exhibited itself, the humane and noble spirit of Alderman Pirie was particularly ob servable, and the last case which had met the public eye from the Mansion-House reports, was that of a mulatto boy named Symons, who had been stolen from his parents, and offered for sale at the Havannah. For that poor boy the Alderman's sympathies were, it was unneces sary to say, at once excited, and a passage home to Jamaica to his parents was immediately procured for him, by the intervention of that genuine friend of the helpless and op pressed.—(Cheers.) The self-gratification resulting from the repeated acts of kindness and liberality performed by Alderman Pirie was doubtless great, but he (Alderman Farebrother), feeling as a man and a father, could not let another day pass without expressing his warmest admiration of so worthy an individual, although aware that the vote which he was about to propose would be modestly consi dered, by the person to whom it applied, as unmerited and unnecessary.—(Loud cheers.) He concluded by moving the vote of thanks (for which see advertisement.) Sir CLAUDIUS STEPHEN HUNTER seconded the mo tion, as father of the Court. He felt peculiar happi ness in bearing testimony to the liberal and humane _cha racter of Alderman Pirie, which, he trusted, would find some imitators. Several other members of the Court having added their testimony to a similar effect, the vote was carried by ac clamation. Upon the motion of Alderman FAREBROTHER, the vote was ordered to be written upon vellum and emblazoned, and presented to Alderman Pirie. The Court shortly afterwards adjourned. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nor. 20. Several insolvents applied this morning to be dig. charged on bail until their hearing, and their applications were granted. They will resume their occupations until finally heard. A great number have obtained their liberty under this beneficial clause. ACCOMMODATION BuLs.—William Pearson, an unop posed insolvent, applied to be discharged. It appeared that he had accepted several accommodation bills, and had, in obliging his friend, got himself into prison. Mr. Commissioner BowEN—What have you been, in solvent ?—A gentleman's servant. Mr. Commissioner BowEN—What business had you to be accepting accommodation bills ? The insolvent pleaded that his friend, who had kept a public house, was a respectable man, and had gone away, whither he could not tell, nor did he know whether he had been discharged under the Act. Mr. Commissioner BOWEN—It is fortunate for you you are not opposed by any bona fide holder, or you would have been remanded for a long time. It is a scandalous shame that such persons as you should figure as acceptors of bills. You have been in prison for three months, and you richly deserve it for your conduct. The insolvent was discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE R W-STREET. Jamel Hart, a General-Post letter-carrier, was )e4sterday placed at the .bar before Mr. MINSHULL and Lord MONT roan; charged with stealing a poet letter, containing a 5/. Bank of EnJand note, while employed as messenger in the General Post-office, St. Martin's.le-Grand. The prisoner was remanded for a week. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 20. lITHER V. RICH. This was an action on a bill of exchange. The de fendant pleaded several pleas, one of which was, that the bill was not held by the plaintiff bona fide and for a valu able consideration. The bill was drawn by the defendant upon, and accepted by, Lord Arthur Chichester, payable three months after date, and was for the sum of 3001. The bill was drawn on the 27th of September, 1834, and was entrusted by the defendant and Lord Arthur Chichester, together with several other bills drawn and accepted by one or other of them, to a man named Levy. In the early part of 1835 it was in the possession of Mr. Charles Hunter, said to have been employed in discounting bills. From his hands it passed into those of the plaintiff. In order to support the pleas it was proved that Hunter went to the plaintiff, who carried on business as a gun-smith, in Leicester -street, Leicester-square, and requested him to discount the bill. The plaintiff consented to do so, and gave his own acceptance for a part of the value and for the other he sold Hunter three single-barrel guns at 301. each, and one brace of pistols at 601., making to gether 1501. in goods ; that Hunter took these guns and pistols to a pawnbroker named Vaughan, and the guns were sold to him for 11/. each, and the pistols for 171. Other evidence was given for the purpose of impeaching the title of Levy and of Hunter to the bill, and with respect to the value of the goods sold, some proof nas adduced with a leW to show that Vaughan had given the fair market price fir the things purchased. This, however, was . denied on the other side. The cause was tried before Lord Denman, when a verdict was given for the plaintiff. A rule had since been obtained to set aside this verdict and have a new trial. Mr. PLATT showed cause against the rule. Sir W. FOLLETT supported the rule. The COURT made the rule absolute on the question as to the verdict being against evidence, but took time to consider the other point. BAIL COURT, Nor. 20. Mr. WATSON applied to the Court to make a rule ab solute for a mandamus, commanding James Bradley and Thomas Adams to admit and swear Mr. Samuel Vesey •ns one of the Commissioners to be appointed under an Act of Parliament for embanking, enclosing, and draining cer tain lands in the parish of Wainfleet, in the county of Lincoln. Mr. LAWRIE showed cause against the rule. Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE would give his judgment on a future day. EXCHEQUER COURT, Nor. 20, CHANTER V. HOPKINS. This was an action brought to recover the price of a pa tent smoke-consuming furnace, invented by th e pl a i nt iff , and supplied by him to the defendant for the use o f hi s brewery at St. Ives. At the trial, which took place in London, before Mr. Baron Gurney, the Jury found for the defendant, and also that the furnace was such as to be perfectly useless to him. Mr. Erle obtained a ru l e n i s i last term for a new trial, against which Mr. B y l es now shOwed cause. The Court , without callin g upon Mr. Erie to support the rule, made it absolute. 20 ADMIRALTY l E R A RA L B T IT C R O T U . 11T c 0 , L N L; 0 N. This is a suit for compensation for the total loss of thl schooner Adelaide, of sixty-four tons burthen, with a cargo of fifty-nine tons of coal, which happened on the 14th of February last, in Milford Ha ven, that vessel hav ing been run foul of by the Earl Bathurst . The Adelaide put into the Haven Newport inconsequence f ad bad n t w h e n at E h a er r , i being on a voyage from Bathurst , of 237 enr t tnCork, o tons burthen, ran for the same harbour, and in endeavour ing to wear met with a strong sea, which pushed her back stern foremost upon the Adelaide, striking her on the larboard quarter. The crew were thrown into a state of the greatest alarm, and got on board the Bathurst. The storm continued, in some time it increased to a hurricane, and after thiriy-six hours the Adelaide, with all her cargo, went down, the crew never having returned to her. The value of the ship and cargo lost is computed at about 4501. or 5001. The Court was assisted by Captain Timbrell and one of the other Elder Brethren of the Trinity House. Her MAJESTY'S ADVOCATE for the owners of the Ade laide, contended that the collision was solely attributable to the want of skill of the crew of the Earl Bathurst.

(From the London New Price Current of last Evening.) &GAIL —There has again been a good deal of business doing in West India Muscovadoes ; from the grocers the de mand has been extensive for both brown and yellow descrip tions during the past week ; the refiners have also purchased freely, and importers have obtained an advance on previous rates of 6d to Is ; the quantity sold by private treaty on Wed nesday amounted to 1,200, and on Thursday and Friday to 1,400 hogsheads and tierces, besides which 115 hogsheads 14 tierces Barbadoes at public sale were taken with avidity at prices fully up to those of the last sale, and brought b7s to 64s 6d for low to good quality ; privately low middling St. Kitts, Antigua, and Demerara have beea sold at 52s 6d to 545, Demerara, Jamaica, and St. Vin cents of mid quality at 55s to 565, good Jamaica at 60s 6d, and strong brownish Tobagos at 51s to 51s 6d : the supply is still very short of qualities above 61s ; the unusual demand for the season of the year may be attributed to the present moderate prices, which are 8s to 9s lower than they were at this time in 1837 and 1836 ; the deliveries since our last have been large, exceeding those of the corresponding period of last year ; the increase in the comparative stocks is not so large now as it was on Tuesday last; there has been only one small arrival since this day week.

Yesterday Ellen Sheen, an Irishwoman, about 23 years of age, whose appearance indicated great di,tress, was brought before Mr. BENETT, in the custody of James Warren, No. 60 E division, charged with being destitute. Inspector Rawley, of E division, when the prisoner was brought to the station-house, with much difficulty under stood from her that she was a native of Kerry. She had been married about two years, and some time ago a recruit ing party at Cork enlisted her husband in the 24th Regi ment of Foot, and brought him to this country. She re ceived a letter from him requesting her to come to London, when she endeavoured to raise 3/. from her friends, and ac companied a female named Mary Shea to London, where she arrived about a month ago, when her companion robbed her of her money, &c. and abandoned her ; and she bad pawned her clothes to enable her to live, but during the last three weeks she had been wandering about in search of her husband in a starving state, without being able to find him, and she had not slept in a bed for that time. Mr. BENETT said it was a most distressing case, and there was no other remedy than to pass her back to her own country. He ordered that she should be taken back to St. Giles's workhouse, with his recommendation, in order that she might be passed immediately. Inspector Rawley requested to know what was to be done with the remainder of the ss. advanced by his Worship? Mr. BENETT directed that it should be appropriated to the redeeming her articles in pledge, and if it. required more money to inform him and he would supply it. The unfortunate woman left the office inieL-s, and 'ac companied the inspector to the workhouse. MARLBORO UGH- STREET. The sitting Magistrates, Mr. CONANT and Mr. COURTOY, were called upon to decide upon the merits of a charge of assault brought by Priscilla Gardner against Norah Gallagher. The complainant's story was that North Gallagher stole a coat from her, for which offence she was tried ; but, ac cording to the complainant's account, she "slipped through free." On Monday last complainant was, baby in arms, walking along Dean-street, when she was accosted by the defendant, who told her she had stolen the coat ; that she was then "jolly" with the money it had produced ; and she was now ready to take her " ha'p'orth of satisfaction" out of complainant. This threat she followed up by aiming blows right and left at her face, and complainant verily believed that had she not suddenly drawn back, one of the blows would have fallen on the child, and " scrunched" its poor little head. A very precise-looking personage, remarkably matter-of fact in his manner, came forward to give evidence on behalf of the complainant. " Your Verships," said the witness, in a sort of psalm-singing tone, " your Verships, I seed the whole of these here ladies' rumpusses. I vos a standing at the corner of Dean-street and Compton -street, close afore the winder of -a picter-frame maker's, or, least ways, of a chany and glass varehouse, ven I sees this here young 'oman a coming along vith the babby in one of her arms, and holding her apron, rich had three or four pound of tators in it, vith t'other." Complainant—Five pound, 'cause I gets em a far ! ,, n cheaper. Witness—Veil, yer Verships, I vorn't fur out ; there might a been about five pound of taters. Mr. CONANT—Did you see any blow struck ? Witness —On the verd and honour of a man, I seed the defendant strike t'other young 'oman. She flew: at her like a tigor or a tigress, and so I run furred with my two double fistesses to hold em afore the child's flice, and I cotched a violent punch on von on em vich - saved the hinnercent babby's life. " Be this and be that," said Norah, " you wasn't to the fore at all." " Vot," said the witness, agrily, " didn't I pick up the taters?" " Don't belave him, yer Hanner," interrupted Nora ; " he was bastely drunk at home." " Vy, didn't I h exer t m y se lf so w i ggerus ly," s a id the witness, (making another effort to be heard) " that I broke " You've tuk a false bath," said Noah, speaking loud in order to prevent his communication from being heard ; " you wasn't there at all." Yer Verships;" cried the witness, making at last a suc cessful effort to be heard, " I broke a vinder in parting the tNo vimmin, vich I vos hobligated to pay for." This last piece of evidence settled the matter. The Bench inflicted the fine of ten shillings and costs on the defendant. QUEEN. S Q UA RE. John Sturges, an American, who, it is stated, has been but a few months in this country, was yesterday placed at the bar charged with stealing a rasher of bacon, value one Penny. A police-sergeant of the B division saw the pri soner go into the shop of Mr. Hendricks, a cheesemonger, in R oc h este r -row, and deliberately taking up the slice of bacon walk out with it. Witness then took him back to shop, but the proprietor refused to prosecute. Mr. GREGORIE—What are You ? Prisoner—l am a minister of the Gospel, and preach truth. Mr. GREGORIE—What have you to say to this charge? Pris 'ner—l do not think but what people have a right to do as they like with their own. Mr. GREGORIE—But it was not your own. Prisoner—l took it as many others would have done. It's one person's property, and another has no right to interfere in the matter. The owner did'nt want to prosecute. Mr. GREGORIE inquired of the serjeant whether he knew anything of the prisoner ? The officer replied he did not. On searching the pri soner he had found. tenpence•halfpenny on his person. He had since been to the accused's lodging, where he was told he had .5/. or more by him. Prisoner—The property was nothing to the constable, yet he entreated the owner to come forward and prosecute, saying that be had a large family, and wanted a case. Mr. GREGORIE could not see in this case any palliative e;rcumstances, and committed the prisoner for six weeks to hard labour. CAPTAIN SCOTT'S EXCURSIONS IN RONDA AND GRANADA. —Our grateful recollection of Captain Scott's " Travels in Egypt and Candia" made us anticipate the Per usal of his present work with some pleasure , nor have we been disappointed. The Captain is as merry-hearted a gentleman as he is intelligent and fond of the bustle and variety of his military life. He is, therefore, as pleasant a guide and companion o ver the vinous hills and thr onh the ro mantic forests of Spain as can be imagined—for his ob servant eye catches at a glance, what is most worthy of obser vation, whether animate or inanimate, and his wit and his enjoying heart put us into the right way to distil as much satisfaction from it as is possible. We have to thank him, also, for introducing into his travels a story and legend or two, which vary the nature of his work, and increase there. fore, its interest. Upon the whole, Captain Scotts " Ex cursions" form one of the most entertaining books we have read for many years, while there is much in it that gives valuable information upon the present state of Spain, and the condition of its political affairs. DEPLORABLE DESTITUTION. --OD Monday night at a late hour, a policeman on duty in Charles -street, Drury-lane, found an elderly man lying in an insensible condition in a shed in that street. At first it was supposed he was intoxicated, but on further examination it was dis covered that he was in a dying state, and from his appear ance it was evident that he had suffered very severely from exposure to the weather, and from want of common neces saries. He was immediately taken to the workhouse, where every effort was made to revive him, but without success, as he died a few hours after his admission. No thing was found upon his person to lead to a discovery of his name or residence. inquiries have been instituted with this object, and the case will undergo investigation before a Coroner's Jury. The deceased appears to have been a labourer, DING N From To 222 Wheat. per Isarryl *.'!“ atone..... 36 0 , 50 0 - I . !' 0 Mere IA stone oti I - 7; 4' :4 Barley 97 Oals ... i 3 9 l6 r -4' Flour, per cwt ... etJue — 1 1 0 Oatmeal—, stone l Sold tt, Baker only I 22 0 I 25 6 1 _ ;,rice of Wheat and Flour 5$ per sack : .. ed.
